ISC High Performance 2022, the event for high performance computing, machine learning and data analytics, is taking place May 29 through June 2, 2022, in Hamburg, Germany. Students pursuing undergraduate or graduate degrees in computer science or other STEM-related fields with an interest in high performance computing are eligible to apply for the student volunteer program.
“We are looking for dedicated and reliable young people to help us run our conference, which will be attended by about 3,000 HPC practitioners, users and vendors,” said the event organizers. “In return, you will have the opportunity to attend tutorials, conference sessions, workshops, the exhibition and selected evening events.”
Volunteering will give students the chance to meet leading HPC researchers and developers from all facets of science, education, and business. The program has given past volunteers access to internships, PhD admissions and jobs.
